About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave
About: I’ve always grown up Surrounded by dogs and cats , along with a few fiber creatures. I’ve done all the responsibilities for taking care of them since very young age and adopted my own cat at 17 and since then have had several cats in the care Of my home along with dogs also. Big and small. I’m able to do the standard grooming for your animals and make sure they are clean. We have 4 animals here at the house and they all have their own uniqueness. With them you do so many diff things to make sure all animals feel included . Also with them being crazy always getting a mess it’s a lot of cleaning to do and looking out to make sure everyone is ok and healthy . Basically a lot of cleaning and looking out for them. They are pets but they are also like children We have a private wooden backyard fence for the animals to go out there and chill and play outisde without having to be on a leash. We also live next to parks and good walking places for if they want to go out walking and sniff around
“Olivia is super easy going, reliable, and flexible when it comes to anything. Even though our boy Theo can struggle with meeting new people, she was super patient with him and he has warmed up to her a ton! She has been very kind to him and we highly recommend her”

“Tara was wonderful!! I loved her updates while I was out of town for work. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I will certainly have her walk the pups again in the future!”

“Emily did an amazing job with Otis. He’s pretty particular about getting his harness on, even with me and dad, but Emily was patient and helped him with his confidence to get it on. She did great with his high energy and we definitely be scheduling with her again!”

“Was on time and very nice. Cleaned up after the pup on the walk and took good status pictures. Great communication. Will definitely be booking again for walks when needed”

“I appreciated the check in's to inform me when the walk was initiated and completed. It gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was a great experience and I plan to use Rover again and hope Jessica is available for future dog walks.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to understand their unique personality, routines, and needs. I have had many animals of my own my whole life along with pet sitting for many family members, friends, and neighbors. I am a certified veterinary assistant and have worked in a vet office for over a year now and with my hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, I’m trained to handle everything from shy rescues to high-energy pups. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly life — not just a job, but a commitment I truly enjoy. I build my schedule around my clients’ pets to ensure consistency, comfort, and reliability. Caring for pets in their own home keeps their environment consistent and stress-free. I follow your pet’s regular schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, and medication. I stick to your instructions for house rules, routines, and preferences. I tidy up after myself (and your pet), water plants, bring in mail, and keep your home secure. I provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Olivia was tasked with visiting and walking our dog while we were on vacation. She was consistently on time, extremely good with communication and obviously has a lot of passion for animals and this shows in the care that she provided for our dog Raya. It made our vacation much more relaxing knowing Olivia was checking in on her. We will book her again for sure!”

About: I am the proud grandchild of a certified crazy pet lady. My grandmother had five cats and two dogs for most of my childhood, so I am well-versed in the patience and love it takes to care for your pets. I work part-time and am a full time student, but I have lots of availability on the weekends and during holidays to care for your pets. I also find myself out and about in the city all the time, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets while exploring new neighborhoods. I know that your space is your own (and your pet’s, of course) and I will be sure to treat it with the care and respect that I would my own.
“Chakra’s first week with Amber has been awesome. It’s been really great for him to have a midday pickup and walk. I can truly see a difference in his temperament.”

“Eleanor is a staple of my Zeke dog’s care team. She has been walking him every week for over a year (and clearly demonstrates patience with me). Eleanor is dedicated, reliable, communicative and repeatedly steps up to help as her schedule allows. Eleanor provides invaluable care and I’m happy for those reading this to have found her!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals, including horses, and often care for friends’ dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving pets meaningful interaction, exercise, and dependable daily care. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a mostly asynchronous online schedule, so I’m home often with a very flexible routine, making me consistently reliable for pet care. I live alone in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood and can closely follow your pet’s routine. I’m home often, very accessible, and provide safe, consistent supervision.
About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket
About: Whether it's going on a hike or to the dog park, or rather cuddling on the couch, I'm here for anything your pup might need. No request is too much, and I'm well experienced with dogs who have unique needs. From mobility issues to dietary restrictions, I'm happy to keep your baby safe while you are away. I work a low-stakes job from 9a-4:30pm close to home so I can make visits on break and if anything comes up I am able to check on the animals. Every day the dogs will get at least 4 walks and time to play in our fully fenced yard. 3+ times each week we also take them to the dog park or on a hike, with lots of space in the house to run and play as well. I have a fully fenced yard and 1 very friendly beagle who has been socialized all his life with other dogs and animals. The house is puppy-proofed to prevent chewers from getting into things they shouldn't be. I have reliable transportation and live in a central location so that I can get anywhere in the city quickly and frequently when needed.
About: I have two cats of my own, Emerald and Allie! The entire rest of my family are dog owners, as well as the majority of my friends, and I have spent lots of time over the years helping take care of their pets! Whether it be visiting several times a day to take their dogs out, or fully staying in their home for a week or more at a time. I am always willing to do what’s needed to make pet parents feel comfortable while they’re away! I work full time at a non-profit, but my job is very flexible and most days I work from home! I especially always have evenings and weekends pretty open. I never bring pets into my own home because I am very cautious about how my cats will react. When I enter other people’s homes, I try to work with the owner first to make sure their pet is comfortable with me before leaving. I treat all pets as if they are my own, often referring to them as my nieces and nephews, so rest assured that your pet will be just as spoiled as mine for the times I am with them! I follow ALL instructions given to me by pet parents, and check in anytime I have questions.
